imagine alec hardy and ellie miller going through airport security that would be so funny

like,,

- alec wearing a suit through security for no reason

- ellie probably wants to be there reasonably 2 hours early and alec probably wants to be there either 6 hours early or 30 minutes early no in between

- ellie with a giant decorated brightly tagged suitcase and alec with the tiniest little carry on bag

- disagreeing on airport food prices (ellie is probably outraged by the duty free water prices)

- alec wanting to go straight to the gate / ellie dragging him around the shops (probably whsmith) (just to point at things and be outraged by their prices)

- alec would probably get stressed and awkward during the whole security check and get pat down because he looks so suspicious

- also his tablets would probably beep on the x-ray and they have to search his bag (ellie probably enjoys this and makes fun of him for being a "criminal")

so much potential

I think it's important to know that Rhianna Pratchett reposted this. I totally understand being disappointed, but there were people behind the scenes fighting for those 90 minutes instead of nothing. And I trust in the team that will be in charge of those 90 minutes.

We will be okay <3

more Gomens news so that means another essay from me let’s do this.

first of all, I’m extremely sick of seeing people respond to fans who are upset about the show getting screwed over like “oh so you don’t care about the victims.” nobody has ever said that. everyone is glad he is gone. everyone is glad that the Prachett estate has taken over. but everyone is also sad that the show has been shortened for several reasons. these are NOT mutually exclusive things.

for me, I’m sad about the s3 news for a lot of reasons. I’m thinking about the people whose jobs have been shortened now, I’m thinking about how Terry Prachett’s ending likely wont be able to happen in the way he wanted it to, and I’m thinking about how upsetting it is to see a wonderful piece of media and all the people who have worked so hard on it face the consequences of only ONE person who works on it. a real consequence would be putting gaiman in jail. but, at the same time, I am forever grateful that he is off the show.

the only people to be angry with here are gaiman and amazon. I don’t think I need to remind everyone that gaiman is an absolute douche, that should go without saying. but as far as the show being shortened goes, I believe Amazon and their greediness is to blame there. I’m sure the Prachett estate made some sort of offer to rewrite everything, but was shut down and the show was nearly cancelled entirely if they couldn’t figure out what to do fast enough. NOBODY should be mad at the Prachett estate for doing the best they could for Sir Terry Prachett’s story in an awful situation. and this should go without saying as well but absolutely NOBODY should be mad at the victims for coming out.

as far as my feelings on this change in length, I think at the end of the day it will be okay. I trust the Prachett estate to carry about Terry Prachett’s ending. I trust them to do it right and better than gaiman ever could. I trust the amazing cast and crew of the show to work hard on this final episode and make it the best they can. a lot can happen in 90 minutes. a six episode season would be great, but I am happy we’re getting closure at all.

I think that’s everything I wanted to say about this situation. be kind to each other, and dear lord please have some sense of nuance with this situation.

If you vote in North Carolina, you're going to see this on your ballot. Looks pretty straightforward, right?

But it's a trap placed by the GOP. ⬇️⬇️⬇️

Voting "For" this referendum will remove the phrase "and every person who has been naturalized" from this section on voter eligibility in the NC constitution. This could place the future voting rights of about 400,000 naturalized US citizens in the state in jeopardy.

Just a reminder - it's already illegal for non-citizens to vote! There's no evidence that this happens in significant numbers anywhere in the country, and North Carolina has restrictions in place against it happening at all, like the voter ID law that's now in effect.

(The voter ID law disproportionately affects POC, as well as transgender voters, both of whom are more likely to vote Democratic as well as lack the needed ID, but that's another post.)

Voting "Against" on this measure will leave the state constitution unchanged.

Here's the whole bill (PDF): https://dashboard.ncleg.gov/api/Services/BillSummary/2023/H1074-SMBK-89(sl)-v-2

Okay, so we’re getting 90 minutes

Obviously i hate it. so much. fuck neil bc this all leads back to him

But you know what other movie is 98 minutes including credits?

The princess bride.

And that is to this day my favourite movie ever since i watched it years ago. Because of how much plot, and humour, and characterisation, and backstory, and excitement and action and adoration fits into such a short amount of time

If you’ve watched it, you’ll know exactly what i mean, and if you haven’t, it’s an amazing example of what can be done with a limited time frame.

It would take some extremely good writing, which i don’t know if we’ll get, to make something at that level, with that brilliant of a plot. But the fact that it is possible gives me hope.

You can do an awful lot in 90 minutes if you try

i do feel like i’m currently in mourning for good omens, just like when dead boy detectives was cancelled, so i’ve done the same thing again and i’m wearing my two good omens bracelets

but we’re getting an ending. we are definitely getting a canonical ending, and it is potentially going to be the one sir terry wanted us to have.

we as a fandom deserve better than this. but at least we have something.
